Self-sustaining power

One of the most common problems with the world today is to fine an alternate power source for us to use. Cars have been the starting point for this. There is always going to be a need to find some way to sustain transpiration. There has been test with natural gas, ethanol, propane, and electricity. All have their positives and negatives, but I feel that electricity has not been fully thought throw.

If a car is a two wheel drive there is wasted energy on the free spending wheels. If someone was to make a car that was able to produce its own power at a cost effective set up there would be no need to keep consuming fossil fuels. My idea is a simple but effective idea.

With the two wheels that spin freely add a turbine to them. That way when you are moving you are making your power to recharge your batteries. All cars would have a zero emissions. The carbon foot print from plugging the car in would be reduced if not eliminated. Since the car would not have to be charged as long if it needed to be at all.

The down side to this is that with the way the world works most car companies have money in stock of oil. So to make a way that would drop oil out of the market would be bad for their business. So for a car to never need anything will never be made without a fight from the major companies. Without the backing of these companies any car made will not make it.

This is the most reasonable way to make an alternative power source. It is self-sustaining, ecofriendly, and opens up new ways to make power. The call for a new source is there but the greed of few is holding back the progress.
